Moto Sahara
Ten days by motorbike from La Goulette to the gates of the Sahara, with your own motorbike brought over by ferry: our guide leads the group and a support vehicle carries the luggage.
Overview
Come with your motorbike by ferry and ride to the gates of the desert. Our guide leads the group, on a motorbike or from the support vehicle as needed, and this vehicle carries the luggage. Easy roads and tracks, no sand experience required.
You choose your dates. We take care of the ferry: we book your crossing with your vehicle at a negotiated rate, from Italy (Genoa, Civitavecchia, Palermo), France (Marseille) and also from countries without a direct link to Tunisia, such as Greece, with an organised connection. On arrival in La Goulette, our team welcomes you and helps you with the formalities.
Excursions into the uninhabited desert areas beyond Douz and Ksar Ghilane depend on authorisations from the ONTT (Tunisian National Tourist Office). If access is closed on your dates, we adapt the itinerary and let you know in good time.
